and if you don't
fossil field
thats why you dont network, you build connections
marsh thorn
you ignore
fossil field
gotta be confident, people will listen to you and want u on their team
marsh thorn
I'm awful at networking
fossil field
youre awful now, keep at it and youll be amazing
you only get better at things by doing
marsh thorn
I feel so guilty though
networking is basically asking someone "give me what I want" without saying "give me what I want"
and you both know it
but you both have to be all smiles
I hate it
fossil field
yea why not
do what you gotta do
itll get you a job way faster than doing what everyone else is doing
marsh thorn
like recruiters
they all of a sudden shower you with attention
but when they realize they have no use for you
you get ghosted
fossil field
nah im not talking about messaging recruiters. Networking/ building connections =/= talking to people over linkedin
marsh thorn
nah im not talking about messaging recruiters. Networking/ building connections ...
how do you do it
fossil field
go out in the real world
go talk to people
talk about how ur jobless looking for a job
just be yourself
ask all friends, ask all family
marsh thorn
just be yourself
yeah no
fossil field
someone will know someone who knows someone who can help you
marsh thorn
I literally just explained what networking is all about
fossil field
u got the wrong idea of it lol
its fake if u want it to be fake
r u talking about real world or online?
marsh thorn
Linkedin yeah
fossil field
thats not networking....
get that idea out of your head
do what the majority isnt doing
and majority is applying online all day and messaging randos on linkedin
no but i can give advice
i just want the best for my fellow peers, and i just like helping people in general. I also used to be in your guys position so i understand i want to give advice that i wish someone gave me earlier
yuh
also chip to get in the building
but theres a buzzer outside to talk to reception
fresh fog
what is considered big tech in canada ? im not native
fossil field
talk to reception and see what sup
tell them you saw a posting or if you didnt say you are looking for a job lol
worst thing they can do to you is say no
i used to go once every week in person to apply. I drove around and just went it every place i could of thought of. Like 10-15 places each time
of course you dont want to look like a bum and want to be clean and like you take care of yourself
marsh thorn
what is considered big tech in canada ? im not native
big tech in Canada as in Canadian companies?

marsh thorn
